I'm calling bullshit on this too. I'm still on Chapter 1, doing some replays for money and getting higher ranks for missions. I can't break an S rank, but I'm getting A/B ranks.

THIS. I was just about to type this too. Doing the Tutorial missions nets you free shit. And who thought reverse jointed legs would be so useful!

I made the mistake of not dual wielding.

I'm closing in in the final missions now, but this track stood out to me, not only because the dudes the early game difficulty spike, but the fact its a banger and comes out of no where.

Goddamn this game is fun.
If its a success for them I pray to the gaming gods they expand on the series with some coop focused gameplay.
Running 3-4 custom mechs with the boys on a big map fighting rival ACs or some giant strider sized mech would be an absolute boner maker.
Man some parts of this game just scream for coop opportunities.

Not sure. Heavier build with dual wield gatling guns is really good, then pair with a high damage explosive shoulder mounter weapon, like a grenade launcher, I paired the songbird with the missile launcher that fires 10 homing missiles (fire the missiles and as AI was dodging, catch dodge with songbird grenades). Worked for most the game, and destroyed the Arena. The stun needle launcher is also really good, I swapped the missile launcher for it during final boss and ice worm. Also made a meme build just dual wielding the stun needle and dual wielding bazookas, it was surprisingly effective.

I'm in the same age range and I gotta be honest, it's not for me. I think this game has finally made it sink in that the FromSoftware games just aren't up my alley. I guess nowadays I'm just a tad too slow and impatient. Never could get into Sekiro, Elden Ring, Dark Souls and now this. I recognize the quality of the games as I try them, but just not clicking. That's alright, I'll admire the people that can get through them and probably check out some YT content, but there's plenty of other things for me to play rather than beat my head against this wall!

Melee weapons are pretty great if you're gutsy and confident enough to get in and use it. Dual wielding is usually a lot safer though, lolI made the mistake of not dual wielding.
At least in the first two chapters, reflexes aren't as important as knowing the patterns and executing the movement and plans you got. You will get hit by small fire in the game so it's just a matter of not getting tagged by big stuff. The game gives you enough time to dodge those. If there's any one thing that is very different for folks that are coming from Souls games but never played a mech one before, it's dodging last second is straight up the worst idea, lol. Always change your evasive patterns to match the type of weapons coming at you. That's something you don't need the lightning reflexes of a teen for.

I can handle Dark Souls, Elden Ring, and even Bloodborne. But Sekiro was just too fast for me. The multiple way to avoid attacks and how little time you had to process what to do. I found Wo Long too hard too (even tho I was OK at Nioh 1 and 2).

I’m 35 and reflexes don’t feel necessary, but I will say my hands felt wrecked playing this because the build I use has two rifles that are single shot so I constantly am hammering the triggers in boss fights. Wrists feel awful after a long boss session.
The majority of the game though has been just changing your AC loadout after a couple failed attempts to fine tune more what works. If you’re truly stuck there’s limitless guides now to just copy/paste a build to easily destroy bosses.

Sounds doable for me, although now I’m worried it will make the arthritis in my hands to flare up if I play this lol
Arsic

Did for me but I’m sure there’s builds without needing spam of single rifles.
Also game has a double beep noise before an enemy fires something at you to give you an easy audio cue to know when to dodge.
Typical souls fashion is you will lose to certain bosses until you learn patterns and make adjustments. Luckily here it seems you can often just put together some broken shit and not learn any mechanics lol.
Early game dual Curtis rifle is your friend.

I'm an old man and am playing just a mission at a time, many don't take much longer than maybe 10-20 minutes? Perhaps a bit longer if you take your time and scan everything. And there's a lot you can do to adjust the AC to your playstyle, including saying "fuck legs, I'm a tank", which gives you great survivability. Since I found out you can change your weapon loadouts during missions, I'm not as worried anymore about taking the wrong gun to the bazookafight. So far I find it less reliant on reflexes as Sekiro was, in which you simply couldn't make a tank build or take it slow.
You can do it! With age comes Wisdom... Patience... & Arthritis!

Going back once you know the controls and mechanics is so nice just wrecking opponents and dodging their incoming missiles, gameplay feels fantastic.

Sekiro just need more armour\weapon variety so you can also have actual rewards for exploration that gets you excited, the arms were hightly situational and i didn't used most of them at all.
The stealth was a recall to tenchu, just a way to cheese some bosses and enemies for the less skilled.
But yeah i prefer ac6 to sekiro, i'm just way more of a tps guy than a parry guy, but i prefer the open world structure of sekiro more, single mission structure and scores at the end is not my cup of tea.

Lol it must be extremely traumatic to enter a menu to change a weapon...
Maybe don't resell everything so you can actually do major changes while still being in the mission if a boss kills you, you can easily farm money to buy every part so it's a non-problem to stay in a mission and still change your build, if you have to close the mission then you are doing it wrong.
This is a better mechanic than making super hard bullshit bosses that you have no answer for no matter how much you change your equipment.
Figuring out the best build is part of the fun imo.

Not exactly because melee is pretty devastating in this game.
You wanna be really hardcore then go with a dual-wielded pulse gun and heavy armor build. Good luck with that, lol.

Yes, as a matter of fact, it's a pain in the fucking ass. Cope.
Also, I didn't have to farm because I'm not a noob like you and can actually afford things. I just don't go around buying out entire store inventory because some genius designer didn't think to put the store in the checkpoint menu where it's needed the most.

Yeah I keep using the meme tank build when I get stuck and then I feel dirty afterwards. Deffo gonna be more disciplined with using lighter builds in future playthroughs.

Btw, i think i'm in the middle of chapt 3.
Double shoulder granade launcher with a nice name (bird something) are absolutely devastating, and then tetrapod to troll enemies from the sky, heavy armour and double laser sniper or double curtis, single shot rifles feel like they have the meatiest impacts.
Double gatling seems kinda broken, lucky for me i don't like gatling weapons that much.
The pile driver was a letdown, big damage but slow as hell and with bad reach, it just deosn't feel as good to use as the swords.

I never farmed in this game (and i can actually prove it), i just said that you can do it since you sound so mad at the game because you have to close a mission to change build, even if you don't farm you have enough money for 3-4 pieces per part type unless you are terrible at the game or if you are an idiot that buy random stuff without a reason, 4 options per body part should be enough to try different strategies, and that is the bare minimum of options.
What the fuck is the difference between opening a menu when you die or opening a menu to change weapon before fighing a boss like you do in other games, you still have to open a menu to change equipment before another try.
I don't need to cope for something so retarded like not understanding how the game work and just calling it bad mechanic because you are a lazy fuck.

This Chapter 1 boss (Jugganaught) fucking sucks for a beginner, front facing shield so you can only damage from the back, super fast and a pain in the ass to hit and also likes to spam mines and tracking missiles constantly, whats worse if you need to go back to the garage for a better weapon (assuming you don't already have one) you have to replay the first part of the mission again

If you can't just time the jump and hovering when he charge at you, just buy the tetrapod legs so you can stay in the air and manouvre around him with ease.
I didn't tried the tetrapod legs on him but by logic it should be the best build to beat him.
Or just buy super fast legs with that long evasion so you can reposition behind him easily (or the one the let you jump super high)

Bro just jump and hover on him. He doesn’t have a shield on his head.
I’ve seen a lot of people play this like Elden Ring and forget this actually has 3D movement and not just on the ground.

Not enjoying this game at all, have that horrible I’ve just wasted my money feeling. Gameplay grievances aside, it also just feels too expensive for what it is, there is no way the budget of this game is even near Elden ring but yet the same RRP. Not even any faces or character models, just basic missions and audio clips so far.

I feel the same, after everything I've seen so far.
Might just have been smarter and not bought it to begin with
It seems to be your mech going zoom-zoom in simple, short levels until you encounter some boss and then you'll bite your teeth out on that boss until you git gud.
Seems to be a very PS2-era style console game, albeit on a very high level of quality.
Great if that throwback is what you want, but to me it just seems too simplistic and twitch action heavy to enjoy.
The writing and dialogues are also awkward AF - on purpose, so not a criticism, but that, too, is not for me.
I'm more into MechWarrior or BattleTech when it comes to mechs, that really heavy feeling, the importance of management and tonnage, etc.
Personally, I'm not weeb enough to have any strong feelings about the Gundam style of hyper-mobile zooming around with laser swords or whatever.
